 * Hi, I’m using the latest version of hueman downloaded from the site.
    I think
   I saw somewhere that I could choose to float the primary sidebar on the right
   instead of the left. Was I dreaming? Otherwise how could I just switch the position
   of the two sidebars.

 * I see you can swap the contents in the theme options/sidebar but what I am looking
   for is to have the wider one on the right and the narrower on left.

 * Hi,
 * I actually needed something similar and changed it like this in my child theme
   css. Note that I only needed to increase the size of the side bar on right:
 *     ```
       /* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *
        *  Section: Side Bar
       /* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
       /* 3 column, content middle */
       .col-3cm .main-inner { padding-right: 340px; }
       .col-3cm .s2 { margin-right: -340px; }
       /* sidebar secondary */
       .s2 { width: 340px; }
       ```
   
 * Also, you have to change the size of two background images to be the same as 
   what you need

    \hueman\img\sidebar\s-right-s2.png
 * Switching the position is already discussed [here ](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-swap-the-position-of-the-siderbars?replies=3)
   but needs more changes and is not very easy.

 * Thanks so much Mohammad, I actually used the code from the other post you directed
   me to, but worked a treat. Thanks again

 * No its’ not working after adding below CSS code..
 *     ```
       /* 3 column, content middle */
       .col-3cm .main { background: url(img/sidebar/s-right-s2.png) repeat-y left 0; }
       .col-3cm .main-inner { background: url(img/sidebar/s-left.png) repeat-y right 0; padding-right: 340px; padding-left: 260px; }
       .col-3cm .s1 { float: right; margin-right: -340px; }
       .col-3cm .s2 { float: left; margin-left: -260px; /* ingenuity! */ position: relative; left: -100%; }
       .col-3cm .content { float: left; }
       ```
   
 * The middile layout messed up in small resolution devices and desktops.

 * tecmint is right, the code works fine for desktops but as soon as you use an 
   iPad or smaller the layout is totally screwed up.
 * Such a shame this one option wasn’t included (to switch sidebars), kinda ruins
   a great theme. I’ve never seen a website where the big sidebar is on the left
   and small on the right.

 * You didn’t know that the code hadn’t resolved stug2013’s problem at the time 
   it was discussed. If you want to discuss your own problem you can create a new
